Following on from TIME's award for best video game of 2008, X-Play has announced the winners of its sixth annual Best of 2008 Awards, in which GTA IV won in the 'Best Writing' category.

For those of you who didn't fully agree with the rest of TIME's Top 10 list (i.e. everybody), you should find that these awards make a little more sense, with hits like LittleBigPlanet, Left 4 Dead, Fable II, Fallout 3 and MGS4 all making an appearance in at least one category. You can find the full list of winners in the source link below.

Those were certainly better than TIME's but still. I can't say IV had better writing than MGS4. But I can't complain too much for MGS4 won 4 awards. More than any other game. No way Fable 2 should have got GOTY. Also, how did God of War: Chains of Olympus not get best handheld game?
